When you stay at The Layar, nestled in the heart of Bali, you’re not just booking a villa but opening the door to a world of extraordinary experiences. Our concierge team is dedicated to crafting unforgettable moments for each guest. Here’s an insider’s guide to making the most of your stay with exclusive tips on local experiences, cultural insights, unique activities, and dining.
Discover Hidden Gems and Authentic Local Spots
Bali is famous for its vibrant culture and stunning landscapes, but countless hidden gems await to be discovered beyond the usual tourist spots. Our concierge team can guide you to:
- Charming Local Markets: Explore Seminyak’s traditional markets, where you can find handcrafted souvenirs, fresh local produce, and a taste of Balinese daily life. The lively atmosphere and colourful stalls offer a genuine glimpse into the island’s culture.
- Secret Beaches: Escape the crowds and visit some of Bali’s lesser-known beaches. From the serene shores of black-sand Petitenget Beach, this spot offers a more intimate beach experience.
- Off-the-Beaten-Path Temples: Pura Petitenget at the beachside off Jalan Petitenget is a compact, pretty Balinese temple known for particularly spectacular beachside ceremonies. There has been a temple here since at least the 16th century. Although this is not one of Bali’s key nine directional temples, it is an important link in the series of west coast temples between Pura Uluwatu and Pura Tanah Lot.
Unique Experiences for a Personal Connection to Bali
For those seeking a personal connection to Bali, our concierge can arrange unique and immersive activities:
- Private Yoga and Meditation Sessions: Reconnect with yourself in a private yoga or meditation session in the tranquil surroundings of your villa or amidst Bali’s serene landscapes.
- Balinese Cooking Classes: Learn the secrets of traditional Balinese cuisine with a private cooking class. Expert chefs will guide you through the preparation of authentic dishes using local ingredients and techniques.
- Cultural Workshops: Participate in workshops that introduce you to Balinese arts and crafts. From painting and batik to traditional dance, these workshops offer a hands-on experience of Balinese culture.
Enjoy Exceptional Meals at Settimo Cielo
We offer a culinary experience at Settimo Cielo that perfectly complements its luxurious ambience. The in-house restaurant provides:
- Gourmet Dining: Combining traditional Italian flavours with a modern attitude means the freshest ingredients are brought to the table, skillfully prepared and beautifully presented.
- Must Haves: Settimo Cielo assimilates the very best of contemporary Italian dining with a wonderful rustic style and flavours. Ricotta Stuffed Calamari, a whole squid served with ricotta inside, complemented by sweet purple potato cream, sautéed shimeji mushroom, asparagus, and shaved parmesan drizzled with olive oil is a delicious testament to the chef’s coveted craft.
